Here's two of the cubs I saw tonight. There are several more, so my guess is that both adults are vixens and both have had cubs! They certainly seem healthy. I'v just been checking previous photos and my best estimate of a birth date is approximately 7th March. Kinky was still gravid on the 6th judging from the photos, and I then didn't see her again until the 14th when she is clearly lactating. That makes the cubs here about 6 weeks old.
I also managed some very grainy video lit by torchlight (the video doesn't benefit from flash). Click the thumbnail to view (it's a 10MB file by the way).

Do you know how many they are?

24 Apr 2006It's difficult to count them as they run around, but I think there are 7 cubs!
